Migrants pretending to be gay so they can claim asylum

I was listening to a gay man saying that being gay should not be one of the claims for asylum as it is impossible to prove, I don't know if I agree with that, but i watched the report and it was obvious that the lawyers and many of those interviewed were quite homophobic.

I feel really sorry for the genuine asylum seekers , awful that they have to compete with these economic migrants who lie through their teeth.

Not great, but what is worse is those solicitors and advisors encouraging this.

IMO, I understand why they are doing this, but it’s wrong and they need to be honest.

There are countries where gay people are persecuted, pretending to be gay, or have nothing else wrong, makes it so much more difficult for those who are genuine.

I completely agree.

I saw this yesterday, the first I have heard of this.
I was horrified at the lawyers lining their pockets by suggesting this form of appeal.

Btw, Calocain was very definitely mentally ill. It is not a concocted lie.

Nooooo 😱
How long has this been going on. Well now the home office knows ( that’s assuming someone’s told them) something will be done about it.
I would put up an image of a flying pig if I could. But I’m sure you can all imagine.

Calocane, Sutcliffe, Lewis-Ranwell, all put in a plea of diminished responsibility Wyllow3

Yes. And it really upsets me because I knew the victim of one of these lying murderers, and she, and her family would never ever lie. 😥

Of course it's upsetting - but I just looked them up -Calocane had already been sectioned 4 times and did have a long history of MH issues.

Peter Sutcliffe had a significant history of mental health issues, primarily diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenia and had been previously sectioned

Alexander Lewis-Ranwell was also already previously diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic and had also been sectioned before

nanna was alluding to people who had no history but attempted to use a claim of a mental heath severe condition as a get out card.

This is what I questioned. Sadly it is a fact as we have seen in a number of cases that it was the driving force for crimes here - thats why we have Broadmoor and always have.

If there isn't a history and a claim is made then that is a different matter of course.

What amuses me is the fact that the bbc thought. that nobody knew about the scam.
The world and his wife knew about it 🤦🏼‍♀️

Indeed it is, and quite right to stop it. But arguing that because a man has had a child and was married he could not have been gay all along is quite inaccurate, as I said, it used to happen all the time to hide being gay in the UK for centuries.

One of our very good friends, only in his 50’s, married a woman and had two children. He only had the “guts” to come out much later.

My SiL, did precisely the same, she was born in 1954, into a strict catholic family. Whilst away at teachers training college she found she was more attracted to women, however when she qualified, she did what was expected, married a man and had children, she left him after 2 decades to “come out”, however the guilt was too much for her and 1 year later she committed suicide.

It’s awful to have to hide the fact you’re gay.

It’s even worse to “pretend” to be gay for your own gain.

I’m empathetic to most asylum seekers, so these stories make me very angry, the advisors and solicitors are totally corrupt, those pretending to be gay will make it so much harder for those asylum seekers who are persecuted in their own countries, to seek asylum. Awful situation all around, but this isn’t a new story.

All of you just think about how awful it is to be a dirty lying immigrant without thinking how blessed you are and how desperate they are to survive, not die, take care of their loved ones. Elderly and children. I would lie too, in order to survive.

Well said. I’m more any with these people’s advisors and solicitors.

Most AS come from dire countries, on appalling journeys.

Angry not any!

Yes, Calocane had schizophrenia. That is established.

But he lied about his symptoms.
He lied about taking his medication.
He lied about being out of the country for appointments.
He lied about the location where he was living.
And the list of lies goes on. One lie conveniently leading to another.
Liars are the people I find the hardest to in any way have sympathy for.

Peter Sutcliffe did not have a significant history of mental health issues Wyllow.

This claim was made during his trial and rejected by the prosecution. His claims of schizophrenia, of hearing voices were believed to have been fabricated, the 'idea' coming from his wife Sonia received treatment 2 years after they were married.

Nowt like a bit of righteous indignation with your All bran.

Sonia having received treatment

Illegal immigrants are now also being advised to say they are fleeing from domestic abuse. Again making it more difficult for genuine cases to be believed.

Should point out, I read these claims are mostly from people with temporary visas about to expire.

Not the ones coming in on boats apparently.

What is it claimed the family member lied about?

Yes, it's fine to feel strong emotions in such cases of deception, even contempt. Whatever the lies given. I make no apologies.

To joke about eating Allbran in the same breath is hardly appropriate. Have you nothing more interesting to say?

Just seen your further post, but I don't really understand that your knowing the family had anything to do with it.

If you've ever had any experience of people with serious mental illness, you'd know that lying isn't uncommon. Any mental health worker worth his/her salt knows that.

Nobody's asking you to have sympathy for him, but it is a fact that's how schizophrenics often behave. Calocane hasn't gained anything because he'll be locked up for the rest of his life.

I don't understand?

You wrote that the family would never ever lie. So what has somebody claimed they lied about?

I do know that, twaddle.

I'm talking about injustices when it comes to hearings about claims raised, and lies revealed.

But to be honest, this thread is turning me into someone I'd rather not be, so I'm out.

Lies, are lies, end of

I’m with you on this one MartaVTaurus

Genuine asylum seekers should be welcomed, the liars, cheaters and chancers no way Jose

Final response, just to explain (in case I was unclear) ..... the victim and the family are not the type of people who would ever lie. Far far from it. No one claimed they lied. The murderer did lie over and over again.

Back to the OP.
